Well things have quieted down since the unfortunate security breach of our website yesterday. We have personally responded to all of our customers who received the crazy phishing email...and we have been told by the authorities that we will probably never get to the bottom of it as these types of breaches are a very common occurance on the internet. Soo...I want to get back to where I was so rudely interrupted.......Sanibel Island...
Shawnette and I and my mom and another dear friend Carolyn had planned to leave Atlanta after the Gift Mart and leave for a week of sun, sand and sales on Sanibel Island, FL. Sanibel is known for its wide variety and number of shells that wash up on its beaches everyday. We had heard about it for years and always wanted to see for ourselves...so this was the year!!
We left Atlanta in sub freezing temperatures and arrived at the Ft Meyers Airport to 70 degree + temperatures. We got to the condo we had rented and it was lovely...with a beautiful view of the Gulf of Mexico right from a Florida style lanai (GOLDEN GIRLS STYLE) where we could sit and eat...and drink...and visit...all while watching the sun rise and set!! Yes we could see the sun rise in the morning and set in the evening...both from our LANAI!
We changed into beach attire and went straight to the beach...it was everything we had hoped for...shells everywhere and of every description. We would be able to take home shells perfect to put on our Santas...shells that would give us happy thoughts everytime we placed them in their packs. The shells were so different from the mid atlantic varieties and interesting. We immediately assumed the position that they call the "Sanibel Stoop" just like everyone else on the beach..bent over head down picking up shells. We were in heaven!! Pen shells,Whelks, conchs, jewel boxes, kittens paws,scallops,lace murex, coon oysters...(wow what is that?)
More to come on Sanibel ...where shells fall from the sky... stay tuned!
